i could not find a thread that covers this topic so i was wondering if i could put a 650c wheel and forks on a bike that should use a 700c wheel and fork i guess it depends on crank length but i am new to this and want an answer from more experienced people

The Orlowski "lo pros" are made in this way, don't see any reason why not as long as the headtube isn't set at some weird angle.

Aesthetically you might end up with more space between the front wheel and the frame than is normal, but I think that could be remedied by using straight forks.

Yeah, it wil work. Infact medals have been won at national tt's in a similar manner.

Aestheticaly it could look shit depending on the frame you chose.

if it doesn't look like a lo pro and it doesn't smell like a lo pro it probably shouldn't be converted to a lo pro
the angles specifically designed and calculated by the frame builder were probably done for a reason

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
